A very powerful mag 6.9 quake has rocked Chignik, Alaska this morning.
The major quake was fairly deep, no tsunami warning has been issued. The quake comes after another major quake, a mag 6.2 struck Hawaii yesterday and is the 5th major quake, (mag 6 or higher) of October 2021.
Today's major quake brings this year's total to date to 121. At the same time last year 99 major quakes had been recorded and in 2019, 110. 2018 had 96 and 2017, just 81.
The first major quake, (mag 6 or higher) of October belongs to the explosive Vanuatu region in the South Pacific Ocean and it is a big one. The mag 7.3 was recorded this morning by USGS, no tsunami warning has been issued. It is not known yet if any fatalities or damage to buildings have been reported.
Last month a further 9 major quakes, (mag 6 or higher) were recorded and the total for the year to date stands at 116. the total at the same time last year was 98. In 2019 the total was 110.
THESE SUNSPOTS COULD SWALLOW PLANETS: Spaceweather.com is claiming these sunspots AR2866 and AR2868 are growing rapidly and turning to face Earth. This movie from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory shows their development during the past 24 hours:

My Very Strange Early Spiritual Experiences With Our Star.
As a young lad born in postwar Leeds in 1956, I experienced at a very young age a strange spiritual connection with our Star. At the age of just five, my parents had no choice but to take me to a psychiatrist after I had developed a very strange habit of staring, petrified, at the sun and screaming at my mother that it was coming down to get me. The sun appeared as a concertina, coiling and springing its way toward me in a frightening spellbinding attack. These disturbing episodes continued for months until one day I collapsed in the middle of the road and suffered what my parents thought may have been an epileptic fit, although I have never had any problems with epilepsy since.
Around 1914, solar cycle 15 began, it began very quietly, but soon began to accelerate, and ironically after the first World War.
Solar cycle 15 was the fifteenth solar cycle since 1755 when extensive recording of solar sunspot activity began. The solar cycle lasted 10.1 years, beginning in July 1913 and ending in August 1923, solar cycle 15 is the beginning of the "Modern Maximum." Solar Cycle.
According to Wikipedia, the Modern Maximum refers to the period of relatively high solar activity which began with the Solar Cycle 15 in 1914 and encased many prophetic events, including WWI and II, the Spanish Flu, The Great Depression, and Israel's re-emergence as a nation, the Cold-War, the assassination of JFK and 9/11, and the collapse of the British Empire to name just a few.
Tuesday, 31 August 2021 A mag 6.3 rocked the Kermadec Islands, New Zealand this morning bringing the 22nd major quake to the area just this year: This morning's quake was the 19th major quake of a busy August 2021. Today's mag 6.3 was also the 108th major quake of 2021.

In what could possibly be the last major quake of August 2021 a mag 6.5, of course, reduced by USGS to a mag 6.3 rocked the Kermadec Islands, New Zealand this morning and bringing the 22nd major quake, (mag 6 or higher) to the area just this year. There are no reports of damage to property and no tsunami warning was issued.
This morning's quake was the 19th major quake of a busy August 2021. Today's mag 6.3 was also the 108th major quake, (mag6 or higher) of 2021. At the same point last year just 83 major quakes had been recorded and in 2019, 100.
You may not have noticed but it has been a very difficult week for many this week the UN claimed Global warming is 'unequivocally' human-driven, at an unprecedented rate as they issued a "code-red" for mankind. NOAA has also thrown its 10 cents into the bag claiming July was the hottest ever recorded. It was a week when Europe recorded its hottest temp ever when Italy saw a record-breaking 48.8 deg C, 120 deg F on the mercury, and Spain clocked a preliminary record of 47.2 C (116.96 F).
Climate scientists have detected warning signs of the collapse of the Gulf Stream, one of the planet’s main potential tipping points. The research found “an almost complete loss of stability over the last century” of the currents that researchers call the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). The currents are already at their slowest point in at least 1,600 years, but the new analysis shows they may be nearing a shutdown.
The world is shaking! A magnitude 7.2 - 12 km NE of Saint-Louis du Sud, Haiti is the 7th major quake to rock the planet in the last 24 hours
Two massive quakes have rocked the South Sandwich Islands, just seconds apart, off the east coast of Argentina yesterday. According to the USGS, a mag 8.1, the second biggest quake of the year followed a mag 7.5 quake just a few seconds earlier, 3 major quakes, mag 6 or higher hit the area earlier. The area continues to be rocked by after shocks. Earlier today a powerful mag 6.9 struck Alaska
Today's major quake, (mag 6 or higher,) bring the August total to 9 and the year total to 99.

A very strong, Mag 7.1 rocked the Philippines last night. The powerful magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck off the Philippines on Thursday, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said, as initial warnings about the risk of tsunamis were lifted and with no immediate reports of casualties or major damage.
Last night's mag 7.1 was the 2nd major quake, mag 6 or higher of August and the 92nd of 2021 so far!
I have just received an email from our dear friend, Bill Laughing-Bear up there in Alaska telling me his cabin is shaking! Tree major quakes, (mag 6 or higher) have just rocked Alaska!
The first of the three, a shallow, magnitude 8.2 is the biggest recorded earthquake of 2021, the other two were shallow 6.1 and 6.2 aftershocks.
We need to watch this space in the coming hours and days. Today's major quakes, (mag 6 or higher) bring the total to 14 in July, so far, and the year total to 91, which is so far at least an average year.
While extreme weather wreaks havoc worldwide major earthquakes, (mag or higher) have shrunk into the geological background in recent months. By early March 2021, 42 major quakes, mag 6 or higher had rocked the planet in just 65 days, and we were well on the way to recording the highest number of major quakes ever recorded in a year which at the moment is 207 in 2011, the year of the Fukushima disaster.
What made the incredible number in March even more exciting was that the majority of the major quakes, (mag 6 or higher) had been located along the eastern margin of the Australia plate. 27 of them in fact.
When you consider, the same period in 1921, a hundred years earlier to the day, only 7 major quakes, mag 6 or higher, "35" less had been recorded globally according to the USGS Data Base.
Saturday, 1 May 2021 A TICKING TIME BOMB! Another near miss! On the 10th anniversary of the 2011 Fukushima disaster a second major quake, a mag 6.8 rocks the stricken nuclear plant just three months after a mag 7.0 rocked the same area in February
The first major quake, (mag 6 or higher) of May, belongs to Japan and ironically it's the 2nd major quake to rock the Fukushima area on the 10th anniversary of the Fukushima disaster of 2011. A magnitude 6.8 - 38 km ESE of Ishinomaki, Japan struck in the night with the epicentre of the quake less than 100 miles north of Fukushima. There are no reports of a tsunami warning or serious injuries.
Earlier this year in February, a very powerful magnitude 7.0 quake struck the Eastcoast of Japan just 90 km East of Fukushima just weeks before the anniversary of the March 2011 Great Honshu quake which killed 22,000 people and destroyed the Fukushima Nuclear Plant.
Saturday, 10 April 2021 A magnitude 6.1 - Sarangani, Philippines followed by a magnitude 6.0 - Gongdanglegi Kulon rocks the Ring of Fire! At this stage of the year, 2021 has recorded the 3rd highest total (55) of major quakes ever behind 2011 and 1957

While an explosion shot an ash column more than 33,000 feet (seven kilometres) into the sky, with lightning crackling through the towering cloud of smoke on the Caribbean island of St Vincent we have had seismic activity too.
Two major quakes, mag 6 or higher have rattled Indonesia and the Philippines this morning. A magnitude 6.1 - 168 km SSW of Sarangani, Philippines followed a magnitude 6.0 - 44 km SSW of Gongdanglegi Kulon, Indonesia by just 1 1/2 hours, according to USGS.
Monday, 5 April 2021 The eastern margin of the Australian plate is still dominated this year's seismic activity producing 32 of a total 52 major quakes so far this year and the first 3 major quakes, mag 6 or higher of March 2021!
Saturday, 20 March 2021 Ten years after one of the biggest earthquakes ever recorded destroyed the Fukushima Plant a powerful mag 7.0 rocks the same area: Tsunami warning issued: Iceland's Fagradalsfjall volcano on Reykjanes peninsula finally erupts after nearly a 1,000 years dormant
Wednesday, 17 March 2021 A very powerful, shallow, magnitude 6.6 earthquake rocks the Kamchatsk Staryy Region in Eastern Russia: Last nights quake was the 15th major quake, (mag 6 or higher) of a very busy March and the 43rd major quake of 2021 which is the 2nd highest number ever recorded in the first 76 days of any year
Monday, 8 March 2021 Waiting for the "BIG ONE!" With an incredible 200 aftershocks above mag 4.0 in the first week of March, along with the world's largest quake this year, a mag 8.1 off the Kermadec Islands four days ago and mag 7.4 foreshock are we still waiting for the big one?
Saturday, 6 March 2021 2021! The highest number of major quakes ever recorded in the first 65 days of a year! In all 42 major quakes, mag 6 or higher have rocked the planet: Astonishingly 26 have rocked the eastern margin of the Australia plate since the first day of 2021
Credit USGS; Almost 800 quakes mag 4 or higher with an astonishing 26 above mag 6 or higher have struck the eastern margin of the Australia plate since the first day of 2021 resulting in the biggest major quake total, mag 6 or higher in the first 65 days of the year.
In all 42 major quakes, mag 6 or higher have rocked the planet in just 65 days and we could be well on the way to recording the highest number ever recorded in a year which was 207 in 2011, the year of the Fukushima disaster. What makes the incredible number even more exciting is that the majority of the major quakes have been located along the eastern margin of the Australia plate. 27 of them in fact.
Thursday, 4 March 2021 A mag 7.4 and a 7.3 hit northern New Zealand! Two more massive quakes rock the South Pacific: It's a part of the world I told you to watch for two weeks ago after a plethora of major quakes shook the area in February

It's a part of the world I told you to watch for two weeks ago after a plethora of major quakes and 200 aftershocks shook the area through February.
Well, today the area has jumped back into life, this time just east of the Australian Plate which had been so seismic recently with another major quake, a mag 6.1 struck north of Vanuatu around the island of Sola.
Wednesday, 3 March 2021 The first major quake of March belongs to Greece! A mag 6.3 has struck Týrnavos, Greece followed by three sizable aftershocks. It is the 30th of a very impressive 2021, today's major quake is only the 2nd outside The Pacific Ring Of Fire so far this year.
Thursday, 18 February 2021 It's the most impressive seismic start to a new year this century! 29 major quakes so far in 2021 as a mag M 6.1, east of Fiji is the latest to rock the Australian Plate where almost 200 large aftershocks have occurred in the last seven days
Tuesday, 16 February 2021 Here's another: A magnitude 6.2 rocks Vanuatu: It's the 14th major quake, mag 6 or higher in an incredible seismic February with all the major quakes occurring along the Pacific Ring Of Fire and is echoing the impressive volcanic activity
According to the USGS, the eastern margin of the Australia plate is one of the most seismically active areas of the world due to high rates of convergence between the Australia and Pacific plates and in the last week, this area has been extremely active with no more than 11 major quakes, mag 6 or higher and more than 100 fore and aftershocks from Vanuatu to the southeast of Caledonia.
Monday, 15 February 2021 Keep an eye on the Pacific Ring Of Fire this week: Explosive activity in Guatemala at the Fuego volcano and the Pacaya Volcano as 42 volcanoes worldwide showing activity with 37 along The Pacific Ring Of Fire after two powerful mag 7+ quakes in the Pacific last week
Guatemalan rescue services reported that the Fuego volcano, located 50km away from the capital city of Guatemala, has started to erupt, Prensa Libre newspaper report says. Lava flows reach up to 1.5 km long, and a column of ash rises above the volcano, spreading up to 5 km away, the report says. There were no reports of evacuation yet. Last time, Fuego erupted on June 3, 2018, which led to deaths of over 200 people.
Just down the road from the Fuego volcano, authorities at the Pacaya Volcano have issued an Ash Advisory as explosive activity continues. Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Washington warned about a volcanic ash plume that rose up to estimated 12000 ft (3700 m) altitude or flight level 120.
Saturday, 13 February 2021 A very powerful magnitude 7.0 quake has struck the Eastcoast of Japan just 90 km East of Fukushima. It comes just weeks before the anniversary of the March 2011 Great Honshu quake which killed 22,000 people and destroyed the Fukushima Nuclear Plant.
A very powerful magnitude 7.0 quake has struck the Eastcoast of Japan just 90 km East of Fukushima. No tsunami has been issued. It comes just weeks before the anniversary of the March 2011 Great Honshu quake which killed 22,000 people and destroyed the Fukushima Nuclear Plant. No apparent damage has been reported so far.
This week has been a remarkable week for seismic activity with a mag 7.7 striking Southeast of the Loyalty Islands in the South Pacific with a further 87 after and foreshocks with 6 of them being in the mag 6 reign and most of the rest mag 5+.
Wednesday, 10 February 2021 This could escalate! Three very powerful foreshocks have rocked the Loyalty Islands in the Southern Pacific just minutes before a massive, very shallow, magnitude 7.7 struck the same area: A tsunami watch has been issued.
Wednesday, 3 February 2021 The first major quake of February belongs to the Easter Island area of Chile: A powerful, very shallow, (6km deep) magnitude, 6.9 reduced to a mag 6.6 is the first major quake, (mag 6 or higher) of February and the 13th of 2021
USGS has issued a Green alert for shaking-related fatalities and economic losses.
There is a low likelihood of casualties and damage. The USGS has since reduced the quake to magnitude 6.6.
Sunday, 24 January 2021 A magnitude 7.0 quake, rocks the South Shetland Islands causing panic in Chile with a mistaken tsunami warning: 12th major quake of 2021 highest no since 2009: 45 volcanoes active, 40 along The Pacific Ring Of Fire!
Thursday, 21 January 2021 The volcanic and seismic activities highly impressive start to 2021 continues with the biggest quake of the year so far, a powerful magnitude 7.0 rocked the Philippine Islands region: The quake is the 11th major quake to hit our planet in the first 3 weeks of 2021 and the 10th to be recorded around The Pacific Ring Of Fire.
Tuesday, 19 January 2021 The 10th major quake of 2021 a Mag 6.4 rocks San Juan, Argentina, the 9th major quake to hit the Pacific Ring Of Fire this year: Death toll from Indonesia’s Sulawesi quake last week at 84 people and 30,000 displaced: 29 Volcano eruptions ongoing
Sunday, 17 January 2021 Spare a thought for Indonesia! Mount Semeru, on the most densely populated island of Java, spews hot clouds 4.5 kilometres high with another 9 volcanoes erupting or showing activity and 56 dead and hundreds injured from recent quake and a further 33 dead from flood disasters
Friday, 15 January 2021 Pacific Ring Of Fire Rattles Indonesia: 36 dead 100's injured as a mag 6.2 rocks Sulawesi island after a mag 5.9 foreshock: The 9th major quake to strike the planet in the first two weeks of 2021, with 8 of them hitting around The Pacific Ring: a total of 26 volcanoes erupting at this moment 21 of them in the Ring of Fire
In 1957 our star produced by far the largest number of sunspots ever recorded in one year, no other year has ever come close, however, something else happened in 1957, our planet suddenly and unexpectedly produces the record total of major quakes, mag 6 or higher when a total of 204 were recorded.
Incredibly, something else coincided with the mass testing of nuclear bombs in the 50s, not realised at that time and not mentioned even now, surprisingly enough. During the Second World War, major earthquakes, (magnitude 6 or higher) began to dwindle to just 29 in the whole year of 1947, the lowest yearly total since the 27 recorded way back in 1921.
Sunday, 10 January 2021 The Pacific Ring Of Fire continued it's 2021 impressive explosion with two more major quakes this morning bringing the total to seven in just the first ten days of 2021 along with an equally impressive number of volcano eruptions.
Friday, 8 January 2021 The 4th and 5th major quakes of 2021 rocked the Kermadec Islands and Vanuatu in the South Pacific: All five major quakes this year have happened around the Pacific Ring Of Fire as well as more than 20 volcanoes erupting or showing activity there too
2021 has the Pacific Ring Of Fire shaking! Two more major quakes, mag 6 or higher have struck the area through the night. A powerful magnitude 6.3 shook the Kermadec Islands, north of New Zealand, the second major quake to strike the islands in the last 48 hours and a magnitude 6.1 rocked Vanuatu in the South Pacific earlier in the night.
The two quakes bring the total of major quakes, mag 6 or higher to 5 in the early days of 2021 which is a very impressive start to the year.
While the quake activity is impressive, well so the volcanic activity with more than 20 volcanoes erupting or showing activity around the Ring Of Fire.
The third major quake of 2021 is a powerful (M6.1) which rocked Minahasa, Sulawesi, Indonesia last night: 2020 was the 2nd lowest year this century for major quakes recording just 121 major quakes, (mag 6 or higher).
7 Jan 2021
A powerful (M6.1) rocked Minahasa, Sulawesi, Indonesia last night making it the 3rd major quake, (mag 6 or higher) to strike in the last 4 days after a powerful, magnitude 6.2 quake shook the Kermadec Islands region just north of New Zealand yesterday and magnitude 6.1 struck the Andreanof Islands, Aleutian Islands in Alaska 4 days ago. Last night's mag 6.1 was the 3rd major quake, (mag 6 or higher) of January 2021.
After saying goodbye to the crappiest year in living memory, 2020 was anything but exciting concerning major quakes.
Pacific Ring Of Fire Enters 2021 Kicking And Screaming: A magnitude 6.2 quake shakes the Kermadec Islands region after the Sinabung volcano erupts along with Hawaii's Kilauea volcano, the Sheveluch volcano in Russia, Mexico's Popocatepetl volcano, and two in Japan
The first major quake of 2021 belongs to the Aleutian Islands in Alaska with the islands rocked by a powerful, shallow Mag 6.1: The quake comes just 4 days after the most intensive storm ever recorded smashed into the Aleutian Islands
